DALLAS, Ga. — A Georgia man faces charges after more than 100 dogs were rescued from a home in Paulding County where a dog-fighting operation was being run.

Vincent Lemark Burrell, 55, of Dallas, was arrested Tuesday on one count each of aggravated cruelty to animals and dog fighting, but the sheriff’s office said they “expect over one hundred additional counts against Burrell as this case continues to unfold,” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Burrell is being held without bond at the Paulding County Jail. It was unknown if he’s represented by an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
